Search for antispamseeder.exe - the docs are fairly good Basically you need for forward spam to a "spam" mailbox somewhere, and Ideally send "non-spam" to a "not-spam" mailbox. Then you can run the antispamseeder program (I schedule mine to run daily) to read those mailboxes. I also then automatically delete those mailboxes. You may want to be monitoring those mailboxes to insure just spam gets into them if you have some click-happy users submitting to them. You can also set up an exclude list for the blacklist urls so particular urls don't get in there by accident.
This will also train the baesian filter for those users... But if you have a wide userbase or any using foreign languages that may not work well. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Smith Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2004 3:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Increasing number of spam How would I set up the server to allow me to forward messages to the spamseeder program? Forgive me if this is something explained in detail in the user's manual... And would someone please at least help me find the current spam lists (I can't seem to find them on Ipswitch's website).
